Justin Holliday added 10 points and seven rebounds for the
Huskies (17-8, 7-6 Pac-10), who led by 15 but had to hold off a
late charge by the Cardinal (11-14, 5-8).

Washington, which had not won on the road since beating USC on
Feb. 21, 2009, was winless in six tries this season.

Leading 61-56 with 6:30 remaining, the Huskies went on a 15-4
run to quiet the Maples Pavilion crowd. Elston Turner and Thomas
both had 3-pointers during the run, while Darnell Gant added a
key tip-in off a Thomas miss.
